Chapter 90: Come to Beijing Again
Upper Beijing.
The flight from Yangcheng landed at Shangjing International Airport, and Lu Yi took Zhang Qinglin Meng and several security personnel out of the airport together.
"Lu Lu, what do you think the demonstration reactor built by Max Planck Lab should deal with the problem of tritium retention and recycling?"
While moving forward, Zhang Qing did not forget to discuss the problem, in DT fusion, tritium retention and recycling are very important issues.
Neutron bombardment causes cavitation in the inner wall material, tritium ions escape into the inner wall material, and together with the tritium lost by the fusion itself, this will cause tritium retention and lead to a large loss of tritium elements.
Once too much tritium is lost in the plasma, the fusion reaction stops, so tritium retention must be addressed, at least to ensure that tritium recovery and consumption are positive.
Because the half-life of tritium is only more than 12 years, there is no natural tritium element in nature, all tritium is extracted from fission heavy water reactors with great difficulty, and the total annual production of tritium in the world is only a few thousand grams.
If DT fusion reactors cannot be recycled, there is no hope for commercialization.
"Now tritium recovery can only rely on neutron bombardment lithium reaction, a neutron and a lithium atom reaction can obtain a helium atom and a tritium atom, through the lithium isotope 7Li can achieve neutron multiplication, but this multiplication ratio is too low, minus the tritium retention and loss, tritium recovery is difficult to be proportional."
Lu Yi thought for a while and said: "I don't know how to deal with it in the Max Planck laboratory, if it is us, we can consider adding a thin layer of actinide heavy metals before the lithium breeding cladding, which can not only buffer the high energy of DT fusion neutrons, but also greatly increase the neutron multiplication ratio and increase the ...... tritium production."
"Mr. Lu, hello! What do you think of Max Planck Labs' plans to build a nuclear fusion demonstration reactor? You spent $1.4 billion to trade the WEGA stellar with Max Planck Labs, is this money the reason for Max Planck Labs' breakthrough today? ”
"Mr. Lu, I heard that in the past few days, you are urgently working with major materials laboratories to overcome the preparation process of a superconducting material, may I ask if this is your hole card to surpass Max Planck Laboratory?"
"Mr. Lu, it is rumored that you have invested more than 10 billion yuan in the research of controlled nuclear fusion, what do you want to say about this?"
"Mr. Lu......"
Before Lu Yi finished chatting with Zhang Qing about the problem, reporters who had already received the news and were waiting outside the airport flocked to Lu Yi and others, scrambling to ask questions to Lu Yi and others.
Today is a controlled nuclear fusion conference in China, convening domestic experts in the field of controlled nuclear fusion to discuss the official launch of the construction of the demonstration reactor at Max Planck Labs, which is also the first time that Lu Yi has participated in a formal meeting in this field in China.
The controlled nuclear fusion project was low-key for decades, and once broke through the world.
In the past, except for people in the industry and academic circles, or those who specifically knew about it, there was very little media coverage of controlled nuclear fusion, and even if it was reported, it was a passing mention, and 8 and a half out of 10 ordinary people did not know about it.
Now, when Max Planck Labs announced the construction of a demonstration reactor, the dawn of controlled nuclear fusion was just around the corner, and this technology involving the future of human civilization instantly exploded into astonishing attention.
The top level is paying attention, the media is tracking and reporting, the people at the bottom are discussing, and what is even crazier is that the world's major energy stocks are taking this opportunity to harvest another wave and plummet.
This happened once in the plasma turbulence model breakthrough half a year ago, but the situation at that time was simply different from this time.
"I'm sorry, but until the first truly commercial fusion reactor is built, all I can say is that there is no clear dividing line between who is ahead and who is behind."
Lu Yi glanced at the media reporters who came up, waved his hand to interrupt the security personnel's rush behavior, narrowed his eyes and said: "As for whether the $1.4 billion I traded with Max Planck Labs decided the reason for their breakthrough, to be honest, I answered the question of controlled nuclear fusion, do you understand?"
And how much I invest in the controlled fusion project, this seems to be my personal matter, when do you media even have to care about how citizens spend their own money? ”
"Lu Lu ......"
Lu Yi's-for-tat attitude made the faces of the surrounding media reporters change, and Zhang Qing and Lin Meng next to him also shouted worriedly.
"It's fine." Lu Yi waved his hand to signal Zhang Qing and the two of them not to worry, and his eyes swept over the logos of this group of reporters.
Most of them are online media and self-media reporters, which is also normal, because in the face of matters involving strategic projects, the official media has always been very cautious and will not ask such questions at all.
"I know that in order to click on the number of followers, you want to get some hot topics and words from my mouth, and even selectively report and understand my answers."
Lu Yi smiled and said indifferently: "I also want to see this scene, a legal team hired at the beginning of the year has been idle for half a year, and I feel that it is a bit of a loss not to find something to do for them." ”
"Mr. Lu, you misunderstood."
"That's right! We definitely don't mean that, and everything will be done as it is. ”
The faces of the surrounding media reporters changed wildly, and several reporters who were a little angry and wanted to stand up and refute were also hurriedly stopped by other reporters beside them.
Only then did they remember that the person in front of them was not an ordinary scientific researcher, but a wealthy man worth tens of billions of dollars, who devoted himself to the research of controlled nuclear fusion projects for his personal dreams, and there was hardly a stain.
If such a rich man targets them, it can really play them to death.
"I don't mean that, can I get out of the way?"
"Okay, okay, everybody get out of the way......"
The surrounding reporters reacted and hurriedly pushed each other to get out of the way for Lu Yi and his party.
"Whew!"
Seeing Lu Yi and the others walk out of the airport and get into a few cars to leave, the group of reporters exhaled with relief.
"Let's talk to the leaders above, today's interview failed, don't report anything, let's wait for the official media news."
"Reporter Chen, will we be too cautious, isn't he just rich? Judging by the situation just now, the relationship between him and the two women next to him is not an ordinary friend relationship, don't we dare to report it? ”
There are smart journalists, and there are journalists who get lost in order to click on the following.
"This topic is surging for you, we don't report it, let's do the scoop for you."
The penguin news reporter next to him glanced at the reporter with an angry face, and said with a shameful smile: "People really only have money, not much, and they are worth tens of billions of dollars, and they squander the money they make, and invest tens of billions of yuan in scientific research."
Why does such a person have an unusual relationship with multiple women? Why don't we dare to report it?
Go, everyone won't rob you, you can report a series of news with the theme of "On the Ambiguous Relationship between Lu Tens of billions and Multiple Women", I believe that after this news report, you will become a celebrity reporter in the news industry just around the corner.
It's really a neurological hospital that forgot to close, don't pull us along if you want to have a public meal! ”
